Try turning off all the checksum and large send offload on all the
interfaces in dom0 and all the domU's. I have had this happen before on
one server

ethtool -K <iface> rx off
ethtool -K <iface> tx off
ethtool -K <iface> tso off
ethtool -K <iface> gso off

<iface> is eth0, eth1, etc in the DomU's, and the vifX.Y interfaces in
the Dom0

See if that gets things going again.

James
